Hi everyone, had a crash descending down a mountain today, no damage to me but bike a bit scratched up. Any one know somewhere where I can get my bike assessed for any damage (it's full carbon). I've found these guys on google but they seem to be very expensive.

Thanks for your help.

Carbon Bike Repair/Luescher Teknik are the go-to guys for carbon assessnemt and repair.
I'm not affiliated in any way, but have sent several jobs there.

I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.

But don't get them to refinish it. Great at repairs hopeless finishers.

Interesting - the few I've seen are finished well enough that you cannot spot where the repair was made???

I've had one with a slight blue tint on an area of finish that should have been white. All other jobs have been undetectable post-repair.
